Stylina sp. 3

Figure 55

v 1897 Heliocoenia humberti Etallon, 1859 ; Ogilvie, p. 167, pl. 18, fig. 3

Material. MGB 83230, 83248, 83302, 83316, 83331; 6 thin sections.

Dimensions. See Table 48.

Remarks. The present material probably belongs also to a new species. Stylina species with a decameral septal symmetry and a so small corallite diameter are unknown. Identical with the present specimens is the specimen figured by Ogilvie (1897) as Heliocoenia humberti Etallon, 1859 . This species has in fact a comparable calicular diameter, but belongs to Alloiteaucoenia , and is here considered a junior synonym of A. bernardina .

Occurrence. Tithonian to Lower Berriasian of Czech Republic (Moravia) Štramberk.
